We went to Culebra primarily to expose our kids to the island and the great people who live and work there but also to finish our open water portion of our scuba certification. We went out with our 10 yr old boys with Taz and Anne and had a wonderful experience. Taz was patient with our boys and made safety... More

During a short trip to Culebra, I looked into diving with Aquatic Adventures. I have been a certified diver for several years, but had only been on 8 dives prior to my experience with Taz, and I consider myself a beginner. After reading all the positive testimonials Taz has received on this site from beginners, I decided he was the... More

One of the skills divers learn is to deal with the unpredictability of currents. If you are unable to swim against it, PADI says to swim safely to the surface, inflate your BCD, signal for help, wait for boat and remain calm. That is what Taz did! Even if I had been on the boat ignoring my other customers, I... More

As my husband has already stated, he and I had a very distasteful experience with Aquatic Adventures and based on our experience, we would not recommend their services to anyone. On the day that we hired Taz and Ann to take us to Culebrita there was a high surf warning which we were made aware of by Ann the night... More

'Saying Something ' now does not do anyone much good does it? If you had the intestinal fortitude to say something at the time...I have to wonder just what is your objective? If its to ruin our business, then sorry, you failed miserably. If its to enlighten others, you failed at that as well. Want to know why? Because not... More

Before you decide to book Aquatic Adventures, whether it be for a dive or snorkeling or whatever, you should read this - they are the kind of people that will promise you one thing and give you another. My wife and I recently spent 5 nights in Culebra. The number one thing on our Culebra to-do list was to go... More

After diving with "the only dive shop on Culebra" we found Taz - He and his wife provided southern hospitality with a smile - information about not just the underwater but Culebra islands also. This operation is run in a laid back 'you're on vacation so no need to rush' way. Taz was on time and ready to go as... More

The hubby and I decided to spend our last day in Culebra with Taz and Anne with Aquatic Adventures. We both love the beach, swim, love exercise, and are experienced snorkelers but never got the chance to scuba dive. As we are interested in one day becoming PADI certified, we figured we would try the "Discovery Dive", a first time... More

Got certified (PADI) in NC in Oct 2011 and came to Culebra for vacation and found Taz and Anne while on the island. Didn't know what to expect if they were uptight or laid back and I was pleasantly suprised to find that while Taz is very knowledgeable and safe after one dive he is also like diving with a... More

Every time I've gotten on the boat with Taz and Ann, I've had a blast! I've also learned something about the water life in Culebra- this guy knows his stuff!! These guys leave the dock near Suzie's @ 10:30 in the morning, and you return four hours later feeling like you've visited another world! Culebra has dozens of dive sites,... More

I had the pleasure of experiencing my very first dive with Taz in June of 2009. And now I am hooked! Taz was a great teacher & really made me feel safe & comfortable with the tanks & all. He was super affordable and I had such a great time. I'm even planning another trip with him in 2012. More

Taz and his wife were pleasant people. However the price per person was exorbitant for the diving. There were six of us and we had all of our own gear. We were taken maybe 15 minutes from the dock and did two dives that were exactly the same. The conditions above the water were 86 and sunny. There had been... More

I wish this person had the common courtesy of advising me they were not satisfied with their scuba experience. We always TRY to find the best visibility, to afford our customers the best experience possible. While it was true there were no storms that week, what we did have was a strong Northerly swell which has an adverse affect on... More
